Run your *raw* PyTorch training script on any kind of device
Easy to integrate
🤗 Accelerate was created for PyTorch users who like to write the training loop of PyTorch models but are reluctant to write and maintain the boilerplate code needed to use multi-GPUs/TPU/fp16.
🤗 Accelerate abstracts exactly and only the boilerplate code related to multi-GPUs/TPU/fp16 and leaves the rest of your code unchanged.
Here is an example:
import torch import torch.nn.functional as F from datasets import load_dataset + from accelerate import Accelerator + accelerator = Accelerator() - device = 'cpu' + device = accelerator.device model = torch.nn.Transformer().to(device) optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters()) dataset = load_dataset('my_dataset') data = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset, shuffle=True) + model, optimizer, data = accelerator.prepare(model, optimizer, data) model.train() for epoch in range(10): for source, targets in data: source = source.to(device) targets = targets.to(device) optimizer.zero_grad() output = model(source) loss = F.cross_entropy(output, targets) - loss.backward() + accelerator.backward(loss) optimizer.step()
As you can see in this example, by adding 5-lines to any standard PyTorch training script you can now run on any kind of single or distributed node setting (single CPU, single GPU, multi-GPUs and TPUs) as well as with or without mixed precision (fp16).
In particular, the same code can then be run without modification on your local machine for debugging or your training environment.
🤗 Accelerate even handles the device placement for you (which requires a few more changes to your code, but is safer in general), so you can even simplify your training loop further:
import torch import torch.nn.functional as F from datasets import load_dataset + from accelerate import Accelerator - device = 'cpu' + accelerator = Accelerator() - model = torch.nn.Transformer().to(device) + model = torch.nn.Transformer() optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters()) dataset = load_dataset('my_dataset') data = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset, shuffle=True) + model, optimizer, data = accelerator.prepare(model, optimizer, data) model.train() for epoch in range(10): for source, targets in data: - source = source.to(device) - targets = targets.to(device) optimizer.zero_grad() output = model(source) loss = F.cross_entropy(output, targets) - loss.backward() + accelerator.backward(loss) optimizer.step()

Launching script
🤗 Accelerate also provides an optional CLI tool that allows you to quickly configure and test your training environment before launching the scripts. No need to remember how to use torch.distributed.run
or to write a specific launcher for TPU training!
On your machine(s) just run:
accelerate config
and answer the questions asked. This will generate a config file that will be used automatically to properly set the default options when doing
accelerate launch my_script.py --args_to_my_script
For instance, here is how you would run the GLUE example on the MRPC task (from the root of the repo):
accelerate launch examples/nlp_example.py
This CLI tool is optional, and you can still use python my_script.py
or python -m torchrun my_script.py
at your convenance.
Launching multi-CPU run using MPI
🤗 Here is another way to launch multi-CPU run using MPI. You can learn how to install Open MPI on this page. You can use Intel MPI or MVAPICH as well. Once you have MPI setup on your cluster, just run:
mpirun -np 2 python examples/nlp_example.py
Launching training using DeepSpeed
🤗 Accelerate supports training on single/multiple GPUs using DeepSpeed. To use it, you don't need to change anything in your training code; you can set everything using just accelerate config
. However, if you desire to tweak your DeepSpeed related args from your python script, we provide you the DeepSpeedPlugin
.
from accelerate import Accelerator, DeepSpeedPlugin # deepspeed needs to know your gradient accumulation steps before hand, so don't forget to pass it # Remember you still need to do gradient accumulation by yourself, just like you would have done without deepspeed deepspeed_plugin = DeepSpeedPlugin(zero_stage=2, gradient_accumulation_steps=2) accelerator = Accelerator(mixed_precision='fp16', deepspeed_plugin=deepspeed_plugin) # How to save your 🤗 Transformer? accelerator.wait_for_everyone() unwrapped_model = accelerator.unwrap_model(model) unwrapped_model.save_pretrained(save_dir, save_function=accelerator.save, state_dict=accelerator.get_state_dict(model))
Note: DeepSpeed support is experimental for now. In case you get into some problem, please open an issue.
Launching your training from a notebook
🤗 Accelerate also provides a notebook_launcher
function you can use in a notebook to launch a distributed training. This is especially useful for Colab or Kaggle notebooks with a TPU backend. Just define your training loop in a training_function
then in your last cell, add:
from accelerate import notebook_launcher notebook_launcher(training_function)
An example can be found in this notebook.
Why should I use 🤗 Accelerate?
You should use 🤗 Accelerate when you want to easily run your training scripts in a distributed environment without having to renounce full control over your training loop. This is not a high-level framework above PyTorch, just a thin wrapper so you don't have to learn a new library, In fact the whole API of 🤗 Accelerate is in one class, the Accelerator
object.
Why shouldn't I use 🤗 Accelerate?
You shouldn't use 🤗 Accelerate if you don't want to write a training loop yourself. There are plenty of high-level libraries above PyTorch that will offer you that, 🤗 Accelerate is not one of them.
Frameworks using 🤗 Accelerate
If you like the simplicity of 🤗 Accelerate but would prefer a higher-level abstraction around its capabilities, some frameworks and libraries that are built on top of 🤗 Accelerate are listed below:
- Animus is a minimalistic framework to run machine learning experiments. Animus highlights common "breakpoints" in ML experiments and provides a unified interface for them within IExperiment.
- Catalyst is a PyTorch framework for Deep Learning Research and Development. It focuses on reproducibility, rapid experimentation, and codebase reuse so you can create something new rather than write yet another train loop. Catalyst provides a Runner to connect all parts of the experiment: hardware backend, data transformations, model train, and inference logic.
- fastai is a PyTorch framework for Deep Learning that simplifies training fast and accurate neural nets using modern best practices. fastai provides a Learner to handle the training, fine-tuning, and inference of deep learning algorithms.
- Finetuner is a service that enables models to create higher-quality embeddings for semantic search, visual similarity search, cross-modal text<->image search, recommendation systems, clustering, duplication detection, anomaly detection, or other uses.
- InvokeAI is a creative engine for Stable Diffusion models, offering industry-leading WebUI, terminal usage support, and serves as the foundation for many commercial products.
- Kornia is a differentiable library that allows classical computer vision to be integrated into deep learning models. Kornia provides a Trainer with the specific purpose to train and fine-tune the supported deep learning algorithms within the library.
- Open Assistant is a chat-based assistant that understands tasks, can interact with their party systems, and retrieve information dynamically to do so.
- pytorch-accelerated is a lightweight training library, with a streamlined feature set centred around a general-purpose Trainer, that places a huge emphasis on simplicity and transparency; enabling users to understand exactly what is going on under the hood, but without having to write and maintain the boilerplate themselves!
- Stable Diffusion web UI is an open-source browser-based easy-to-use interface based on the Gradio library for Stable Diffusion.
- torchkeras is a simple tool for training pytorch model jusk in a keras style, a dynamic and beautiful plot is provided in notebook to monitor your loss or metric.
